Search Contacts
Preview contacts by company, role, keyword, geography, and seniority before saving a contact list or running person-level research.
Overview
Use contact search to find people at target accounts through connected sources such as LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
Contact search is most useful after you know which companies you care about. Start with target accounts, then search for the roles, seniorities, departments, and titles that match your buying committee.
Recommended workflow
- Build or import a target account set.
- Confirm that the required connector is active.
- Search for contacts by role, department, seniority, or title.
- Save useful results into a Contact List.
- Run contact signals or enrichment before outreach.
Search strategy
Anchor contact searches to account context whenever possible. Broad people searches are harder to qualify and more likely to return contacts that do not match the actual buying motion.
Good contact search filters usually include:
- One or more target companies or company profile URLs.
- Role or department criteria.
- Seniority constraints.
- Geography or region when territory matters.
- Clear exclusions for roles that should not enter the workflow.
Connector dependency
Contact search depends on connected data sources. If a search returns connector-related errors, check the connector page before changing the filter.
